St. Vincent de Paul's homeless shelter for men is not just a place where people living on the streets can get a free bunk bed for the night. Our staff of professional case managers has spent the past two years building an addiction recovery program for these one-time "overnighters." And it is working, transforming their lives. Read more.

We're Here for Those in Need

Ken Kirn and Scott Haner stock shelves and assist customers in our Food Pantry. Helping families and individuals shop for produce, meat, canned goods and other staples is gratifying for these two long-time volunteers, who are always working hard behind the scenes to keep St. Vincent de Paul running smoothly.

It’s About Community

We've been helping people in Louisville, Central Kentucky and Southern Indiana since 1853. St. Vincent de Paul is one of the oldest and most respected charitable organizations in the area. We thank you for your continued support and loyalty.
